A soft reset will reset the Seiko QR-375, however, unlike a factory default reset, all custom settings will be retained. It is similar in operation to temporarily disconnecting the power to the Seiko QR-375.
If you have the optional backup battery installed, you will not be able to easily disconnect the power. Therefore, should a situtation arise that requires the Seiko QR-375 to be reset, you can use the soft reset procedure.
If you need to perform a soft reset on your Seiko QR-375 time clock, follow the procedure below.
If you haven't already done so, with power applied to the Seiko QR-375, unlock and remove the top cover.
Push the reset switch with a pointed implement such as a folded paper clip.
After a short period, the Seiko QR-375 will reset and display the firmware version details.
Following the soft reset, the Seiko QR-375 will return to normal operation.
